The second-year player who is working both inside and outside on the Jets defensive line believes their unit could be the best in the NFL.

“No disrespect or discredit to any defensive front out there, but we want to be the best and make our own name,” Coples said.

The Jets have a ton of high draft picks on the defensive line. Muhammad Wilkerson, Kenrick Ellis, Coples and Sheldon Richardson have all been taken within the first three rounds of the draft in the last three years.

All that talent leaves Coples confident.

“Why wouldn’t I be? I see the talent that we have. At the end of the day, with the coaching staff that we have the sky’s the limit,” Coples said.

While it looks like a talented group, they do have a lot to prove. That is something coach Rex Ryan reminded everyone when told of Coples’ quote.

“We’ve got a long road before we can say that,” Ryan said. ”How about we play a couple of games? But they are certainly a talented group. There’s no doubt about it. You want your guys to have that type of confidence.

“Could it be the best? If they keep working like that I certainly hope so.”
